Another benefit of hitting the trail just after sunrise, is meeting fellow travelers like this little guy. |
Not nearly enough of these smooth, sandy stretches. |
This trail hugs the lower reaches of the canyon walls, with frequent crossing of the stream bed, sometimes via rock hopping. Mostly, though, the stream was a trickle. |
Looking back toward Tucson. |
This time of day, the trail is mostly in shadows as the sun arcs its way toward noon. |
The beautiful Santa Catalinas. |
First glimpse of the falls, or what would be falls if there were more water. |
The pools are still mostly full from the last flow, however. |
Nary another soul, very meditative. |
Another view of whence I came. |
Sunrise reflected. |
Typical stream crossing. |
Saw this sign as I approached the trailhead at hike's end. They really need signs to warn mountain lions of primate sightings. |
